Staging highlights the home's best features and demonstrates the home's potential. It has a big impact on how buyers see your home.
Staging transforms homes
to
look
move-in ready and help buyers visualize themselves living in it.
Staging is an investment that helps maximize the rate of return on the sale of the property—and usually costs less than the first price reduction.
A recent survey from the International Association of Home Staging shows that staging can help increase the sale price by up to 20% on average.Professionals shows
Home Staging is about creating an emotional connection with potential buyers. Most of today’s buyers look for their next home online. Your property needs to not only capture their attention but capture their emotion! It is critical to differentiate yourself from the competition and connect with buyers.
An owner-occupied home is one in which the homeowners and/or their furnishings will remain in the property while it is for sale.
A vacant home is one in which the property is fully vacant of furnishings and unoccupied.
We do recommend staging the whole house to get the full staging feel. There will be situations where we can't fully stage a home including occupied staging. We are happy to chat about your staging wants and the options we offer.
1. Remove personal items
Removing items from the home gives our designers a clean canvas to create your virtual space.
2. Complete Small Home Improvements
Tackle small home improvements, like retouching chipped paint or polishing hardwood floors, to remove photographic evidence of wear and tear. This will represent your space more accurately in photos and prevent surprises during prospective buyers’ in-person visits to your home.
We offer design and home improvement services as well!
3. Clean the Home
Whether you’re virtually staging an empty room or doing furniture replacement, it’s important to clean any area of your home that will end up in virtually staged photographs. The more empty and sparkling a room is, the easier it will be to transform.
4. Don’t forget the Exterior and Yard
Like home staging, curb appeal can increase your home’s value – in this case, by around 20%. Clean up the yard while you get your home ready to improve your curb appeal too. After all, you never know how quickly a buyer may see the virtually staged photos online and request an in-person tour.
